1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundSolubility is a fundamental physicochemical property in pharmaceutical, chemical and environmental industrial processes. Regarding Triclocarban (TCC), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, solubility is particularly challenging due to its low aqueous solubility and hydrophobic nature; these challenges can be addressed by some effective techniques such as cosolvency, which allows one to increase the solubility of drugs by several orders of magnitude. This study aims to thermodynamically evaluate the solubility of TCC in cosolvent mixtures of PEG 200 + water at different temperatures.

methodsExperimental solubility data were determined using the shake-flask followed by UV quantification analysis at saturation methods, and thermodynamic functions of the solution processes were calculated using the Gibbs-van't Hoff-Krug model.

resultsThe solubility results demonstrate the positive cosolvent effect of PEG 200 on the solubility of TCC, whose solution process is thermodynamically strongly governed by the enthalpy of solution with entropic preference in PEG 200-rich mixtures.

conclusionsThe solubility of TCC is an endothermic, thermo-dependent process. The addition of PEG 200 to the cosolvent mixture favors this process and shows a positive cosolvent effect.
